Turtle synchronicity

I was delighted when I got home today and saw Mark's post about the injured turtle outfitted with a set of wheels (top right). I had just visited the amazing headquarters of designer toy firm STRANGEco where I scored a wonderful Turtlecamper figure (top left) by Jeremy Fish. Coincidence? Some might think so. Link (Thanks, Gregory Blum!)

Great little figure, but the skull motif throws me. I didn't even notice it at first glance, but it goes from "cool bizarro-land toy" to "$100 arthipster trinket" with the silver skull.

Oh man, now I want them to mod the real turtle with a camper-shell!

The silver skull is awful! Has nothing to do there

It's too cute, I can't even believe it, I am undone :D

I predict that Turtle modding will be all the rage within three years. Can't wait to see one with neon lights and hydraulics.

Throw some D's on that turtle, throw some D's on it?
